500ml bottle; 5.6% ABV, BB 28th Oct 2021. Drank at home on 26th Nov 2020. Clean amber bronze body, off-white topping. Malty molasses rule this semi-sweet brew, dark berry hints mid-sip, but it's all about the malts.

Bottle from Beers Of Europe. Label says 5.6%. Pours a clear copper colour with a thin off-white head. Low gentle carbonation. Aromas of caramel, toffee, biscuits and floral hops. Taste has the same notes as the aroma with added nuts, faint citrus notes, orange peel and a spicy peppery finish. Thin to medium bodied with a slick oily mouthfeel. Spicy, peppery and earthy hop bitter aftertaste. Quite nice if not very Christmassy.
